They removed all educational discounts for nanos/ipods, and updated their page telling you how many you can buy per year (removed ipods altogether).

Drats, I was hoping to save $10. Silver 2gb on order. Switched it to a 4gb Green nano 2g

The stream is working now too

when doing an install of itunes 7 in os x i noticed an option for install itunes phone driver, is that new?

Could that possibly be a driver for one of those Motorola phones? I'm not expert with tbe iTunes + Phone thingy that Motorola had going back with the ROKR and the like, but perhaps its that smoking gun about the "iPhone" we've been looking for. Or maybe its not, lol. :rofl: Someone shed some light on this, 'cause it..seems interesting.

You're right on the money with your first question. And no, the driver option is not new... I remember it quite a while ago, right after they released the ROKR.

I still see the education promo on the Canada site.. it points to the old Ipods with reduced price to match the price of new Ipods.

I wonder if there is price protection from Apple.. I recently got the 4GB Nano and now it's a $30 diff.. :rolleyes:

Well, it was a good 30 second run I had with that. :laugh: Thanks, though, for the information.

I don't get it. Why bother with the whole "determining gapless playback" thing when you could just play the next song immediately after the current one finishes? Plenty of mp3 players do this already, don't they?

Nope, not many do. The Rio Karma did though..a long ways back.

What's the difference between gapless playback and the current crossfade?

Exactly what it sounds like. Instead of fading between the two tracks so your hear a little bit of both at the same time, it starts the next track immediately after the current track without any delay. I like gapless playback a LOT more than crossfade.

They are still 5G ipods, just updated. I assume a majority of the updates WILL be in a firmware update for the old version with exception to maybe the battery (unless they just made it more efficient) and the screen.

Somehow I really doubt Apple wants you to have the new software features of the 6G on the 5G ipod without buying a new one.

Only works well with the dance genre really that has a CD that is continuous.

iTV is born... Wireless Box to watch movies and shows on tv

. . . but my xbmc enabled xbox's have done this for years already (and they will probably be cheap, and more feature filled than this pretty looking device. Although this solution will be fine for people without those resources.

. . . also the price of these downloadable movie is way to high. I was hoping for 9.99 for a new flick, and 5.99 for an older movie. Plus the resolution sucks, no 5.1, or bonus footage. For their price, I'd rather just buy the actually dvd, or "aquire" the movie from other sources

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
